poker night

[deadthenred]

WHO: Bucky + OPEN
WHERE: Bucky's actually surprisingly nice apartment.
WHEN: Wednesday evening.
WARNINGS: The promise of manpanties.
SUMMARY: Bucky decided to have a poker game and invite… whoever wanted to show up. THIS MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN VERY SMART.
FORMAT: Tagger's choice.

Bucky wound up solving his food problem by ordering three bags of something or other stacked high with white take-out boxes from the Chinese place his neighbors were always going on about. He also made sure his apartment was spic and span. It was a remarkably tidy space: nothing interesting on the walls, no television, and now a couple orders of cashew chicken placed on a big card table in the center.

He'd bought a few decks of cards from the corner store and unwrapped one of them, flipping the cardstock between his fingers. Yeah, he was ready to play poker.

[It is Bucky's house so he opens the door.]

Aces, you made it. I guess everyone's got computers to point them where they need to go these days, huh?

[ LOOK SHE IS TRYING TO BE COOL OK ]

There are many strange phrases that your kind use.

[gevurah]

Any in particular that confuse you?

[bests]

I think maybe I should be the judge of that.

[submariner]

[OH UH NEVERMIND BUCKY GOT IT Namor just kinda glances sideways at Julian once he's inside milling about, casually sipping a glass of saltwater. Hey it's one of those X-Kids he has talked to before.] Keller, was it?

[submersing.livejournal.com]

"Cat's got your tongue."

[gevurah]

Fine by me.

[bests]

So... were you just an Army brat, or did you serve yourself?

[deadthenred]

Six or seven. Too many people and it's no good for the game.

/sneaks on in here

[bests]

[ SO HEY GUESS WHO GOT IN A BITCH FIGHT WITH YOUR REDNECK KISSING COUSIN, NAMOR? this blonde chick who is just trying to... skirt around him to find somewhere to sit and stew because namora is a bitch BC

ALL SHE WANTS TO DO IS AVOID ATLANTEAN ROYALTY and bucky RN HER LIFE IS HARD ]

[A couple games later and Spidey is nomming his way through chicken. He gestures towards another box with his chopsticks, still chewing.]

Oh, 'ey. 'Ant some?

[submersing.livejournal.com]

Why?

gently cries

[gevurah]

[ Oh boy, she starts with the more personal questions. There's a measured pause as she opens up her own can of beer. Also, Carol will notice the Special Forces insignia tattooed on her arm.

She's surprisingly calm about this, but there's a hint of awkward. ]

I wanted to.

[deadthenred]

[Throughout the night you might notice that Bucky is, actually, very very good at poker. He's clearly enjoying himself, and also repeatedly tries to remind people to clean up when they're done with whatever they're eating!!]

[So this is just a thread you can bother him in yep.]

[submariner]

[No Namora don't tell people he likes Bucky that is supposed to be a secret!!!

Whatever he's going to equally tiny smile. Gosh.]

Enjoying yourself?

SORRY

[bests]

[ there's a slight pause because carol... doesn't want to pry... but uh. there's no way to really reply to that without prying. ]

You mind if I ask what kept you from doing it?

[submersing.livejournal.com]

[ shrugs ]

Enough. These land dweller gatherings are enough to tide my interest.

[ a beat ]

I did not think you would come.

[gevurah]

It means something's stopped you from talking. As for the origins, I don't know myself.

[gevurah]

BTO informed me I was under investigation regarding my conduct. [ She shrugs; lying about it would never sit well with her. It's just not her. ] I couldn't tell them what they would have wanted to hear.

AW YEAH

[submariner]

[PFFF like Namor is not gonna zoom in on all the blonde chicks in the room? Yeah right!

He's not going to apologize for his cousin because uh that would be like asking to never get sum again, but he is going to just. Conveniently find himself sitting next to Carol at some point ~oops~] Ms. Marvel. [IT'S STILL NOT MRS. MARVEL RIGHT? Oh god why doesn't he pay more attention to the Avengers since he left them like a million years ago...]

[bests]

[ conduct... well, that's interesting. ]

I'm sorry to hear that. [ what else does one say to that? ]

[submariner]

They tend to be incredibly tedious.

[one pointy ass eyebrow just iiinches upwards]

I said that I would.

[submersing.livejournal.com]

Ah.

[ a beat ]

I see.

[ LMFAO SHE THINKS ITS SO STUPID BUT SHES NOT SAYING IT ]

[submersing.livejournal.com]

[ long... pause.............. lmfdmdf ]

It just does not seem like something you would enjoy. These human poker games, that is.

[This was the first time (little!)Kate had ever been to Bucky's apartment, and she wasn't quite sure what to make of it. It was cleaner than she'd expected, so tidy and well kept. She hadn't been expecting a dive or something, but she was pleasantly surprised to be met with the neat and organized apartment.

Shortly after arriving, she finds a seat and makes herself comfortable, stomach growling softly once she caught the scent of the Chinese food.]
